[DROP PREP] - The Hurricane - Kansas City 4/19/07

TOSG · Post by **TOSG** » Thu Apr 19, 2007 2:38 am

I posted an invitation in the "Get To Know Each Other" forum for anyone in or near KC and interested in being a drop retriever to come to this thread. Hopefully we'll get some takers.

I know this subject has already been touched on a little, but I wanted to get put my couple cents in on this...

While I am quite excited of the possibilty of a drop happening in a location that I may be able to get to, I am a bit wary as to that fact as well. It makes me wonder how... important Maddison really is if she isn't the on that drops are being... aimed towards.

I know most of you probably don't get what I mean about this... What if I were the 'target' of whoever is sending these codes? I would hope that the location revealed would be a place that were accessible. Or is that where I'm just going totally off-base? Is Maddison even the one we should be worried for?

In all, I'm prettty excited to see how all this is going, already!!

No, I'm not quite sure what you mean..? :/

You mean they check out the location of ARG-players to make sure there are people who are able to find drops?

I think that is why Zipp told her to get immersed into this coummunity so she would have the resources to pick up the drops.

I really think that someone does needs to go to this location before we rule it out. (Unfortunately we may not have a someone). The compounds were ruled out before they were completed and it took another half day to solve the puzzle. It has strong matches on 3 out of the 4 clues its very likely. The 4048 completely sold me, that would be the confirmation match. The forth may be as trainer said a sign or a clue for the location like (under you elbows).

I can try to go by the Hurricane today right after class to scope out the outside. That's the only chance I might have to do any drop work. Hopefully whoever organized this drop realized how insane it would be to try to find something on the inside at night.

No post no bills makes me think of a letter/mail box coz its what you get post and bills in . Only this time there won't be any, there will be a package for us! Ha! (wishful thinking?)

Also, and this is probably irrelevant, but around here where there are junction boxes at the end of the road for telephone lines etc, the council always stencil 'POST NO BILLS' on them so people don't stick flyers on them.

Just a thought

$\:D/$ Thank you so much.
Look for a post on bills sign or a place with a lot of bills (no "post no bills").

Certainly. It shouldn't be a big deal as parking on Main shouldn't be that hectic around noon. I just feel bad for letting you guys down in the drop department. I so hope it's on the outside. It'd save everyone a lot of fuss.

Anyone have any idea as to what I'm looking for?

I reckon underneath a 'Post no bills' sign?

Of course, that's if anyone ever gets there!!

Edited to be a bit sarcastic.

I found this pic on their myspace page. looks like there are "bills" posted on the outside of the entrance.

I know it's small, but that was the size on the website.

I'd look among the bills posted, I think.

Here is another angle.

I think the guy who did the batman tv series took the picture.

My guess would be too that the drop collector looks for a place without a "post no bills" sign. Like the window or inside the window with all the bills on it. Or even on the street there somewhere. But I am new to the whole ARG thing with drops and all. Although, if there ever was one in Delaware, I would definately help out, and I'm pretty sure Esteed would too, if it were at the top of the state. (I am at the bottom). And Delaware isn't that big, so we could prob cover the whole state lol. But anyways, back on topic

If they have a post no bills sign no ones paying attention

I remember someone saying that they had one( a post no bills sign) on the window or somewhere but by the photos, it doesn't look like it. My guess would be that if the drop were on the inside that maybe it was under the window, not sure if there is some sort of display there or not. Not familiar with the location. Otherwise my guess would be somewhere in the immediate vicinity such as a telephone booth or something.
